In a nice weather and with beautiful autumn colours, I spent a week in Sweden, Gothenburg (Göteborg), meeting mother, family and friends. (I you wish, you can refer to some previous posts about Gothenburg - 1, 2.)Looking through some albums, I found a nice photo (1930) of my mother with her nine sisters and brothers together with their parents.

I love the 1903 building where my mother lives. There was not much time for strolling around, but I took a walk up to the 17th century fortress, the Skansen Crown (which never served), to have a look over the surroundings. On the way back... ... I dropped into a 19th century University Library building, today nicely equipped, but with the original interior design maintained. I did not want to disturb all the busy students; the photos are just from the entrance.

Well look here, I am the first to be able to tell you how gorgeous these photos are. I do believe the leaves are even prettier colors in Sweden! Love the University Library, what wonderful rich colors and details. I am glad you had such a nice time with family and friends, but especially your mom. Hope she is well. ( I like her apartment building too!)

It is good to know that your time in Sweden was nice with your mom and family and friends. How did you find such beautiful atumn colors?Family photo shows how big was your mom's family. I wonder which is your mom. Really beautiful photo and the building where your mom lives is special.Thank you Peter for sharing little bit your family history. University Library - beautiful!

Hello Peter! Thanks for the visit to my blog today, and I fixed the link after your tip. Go see it because I'm confident that you'll like the gallery of paintings.

Your photos today captured the splendor of nature with those bright, blazing leaves as well as the man-made beauty of the library's architecture and design. You always manage to find photos to share with us that are spectacular in subject and design. Thank you, my friend!

I am glad you had a nice time meeting your mother, family and friends. Love so much the building where your mother lives. Amazing architecture. All photos, Peter, are very beautiful! Thanks for sharing them with us.

Hi Peter! Always good to see your photos...I love the colors of the leaves....and the picture of your mom and siblings is awesome....nothing like a bit of history!!! glad you had a nice visit and are back.....

Welcome back after your holiday. Gothenburg looks so interesting, I wish I could visit. Your mother's apartment building is very smart, with such lovely coloured windows. How nice to have the photo of your mother and all her siblings as children. My father was one of 10 children, but there are no family photos, the family was too poor to be able to afford one!
